Famous quotes containing the word strange:

    “You will go a long journey,
    In a strange bed take rest,”
    And a dark girl will kiss you....

    How strange to have failed as a social creature—even criminals do not fail that way—they are the law’s “Loyal Opposition,” so to speak. But the insane are always mere guests on earth, eternal strangers carrying around broken decalogues that they cannot read.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
